Summary
Stephen Heckers, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, who began pursuing a philosophy degree before changing his mind and attending medical school, provides a succinct and multifaceted introduction to the problem of levels and the attractions and problems of reduction in psychiatric research and practice. On first reading, this essay is deceptively simple. It repays a second visit.
